Odense is Denmark's third largest city, located at a distance of around 310 kilometers northeast of Hamburg. Aesthetically brilliant and culturally fascinating, Odense is a budding destination for tourists who wish to experience the best of Denmark in a relatively cheaper way. There are more than hundred historic sites including fairytale-like castles, stunning palaces, fantastic churches from the middle ages and state of the art museums. Do not miss the beautiful sight of the renaissance Egeskov Castle that sits in the middle of a small lake, and do pay a visit to the much-celebrated museum dedicated in the memory of the famous Danish author, Hans Christian Andersen.
